How we handle bath resealing in Haswell Plough
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Resealing in Haswell Plough: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Haswell Plough
There’s no area surcharge for Haswell Plough. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Haswell Plough questions
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Haswell Plough
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
